Syracuse, NY -- Three hockey sticks and a skate sharpening tool were stolen from the visitors locker room before a Syracuse Crunch hockey game last week, according to Syracuse police records.

The equipment was taken between noon and 5 p.m. Jan. 19 from the Lake Erie Monsters locker room at the Oncenter's War Memorial before the 7:30 p.m. game, records stated. The Monsters are from Cleveland, Ohio.

The bolt on the locker room door was in the "locked position," but defective and easily pushed open, records stated.

The Monsters' equipment manager reported the burglary to police around 6:15 p.m.

Each hockey stick is valued at about $117 and the skate sharpening tool is worth about $230, making the total value of the lost equipment about $600.
